Re: setup 2.194.2.24: Bug (?) in downloading from internet


Hello Larry,
I know, that this problem has already been reported (msg01259.html). And
i've read your answer to use some mirroring tool (wget) instead before i
sent my message to the forum. It seemes to me that you are wrong proposing
such solution and it is not the answer to the question. Of course i can
download everything "by hand" - without the SETUP program, but why should i?
SETUP "knows" more about the mirror sites, directory structure, package
versions etc.
I'm only asking about one small bug in SETUP -- since it doesn't show
already downloaded (but NOT installed)files, it's a bit confusing.
